Blood glucose is usually measured using invasive methods involving pricking small needles into the skin. But people suffering ...

A new study by researchers at the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics (IAP), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) offers an alternative solution via a technique called photoacoustic ...

The business strategies of companies involved in chiral drug development were cast into doubt in October after Eli Lilly (Indianapolis, IL) decided not to pursue the development of R-fluoxetine ...

IISc researchers are working to make the setup more compact and practical for clinical applications as current laser source ...

Understanding and controlling chirality at the nanoscale is crucial for various applications, including drug development, catalysis, and materials science. Chiral Au nanorod and its helicity map that ...

noting the repeatability of studies that change the chirality of cells and whole organs using cytoskeleton-disrupting drugs. Even when chirality isn’t uniform in a cell population, he adds, it may be ...

Developing racemic (mixed-enantiomer) drugs is on the way out, industry analysts say, because pharmaceutical companies must evaluate the individual enantiomers and the combination. "Nearly every ...

Such artificial 'one-pot' biocatalytic cascade reactions have opened new avenues for challenging synthetic endeavors, especially for manufacturing chiral drugs, in which the chemical and optical ...
